[QUOTE="rod, post: 1422608, member: 5382"] I usually take my Mother-in-law to Bingo at the VFW on Monday nights. (my contribution to my wife's keeping her sanity as my Mother-in-Law has become quite demanding the last few years). Last Monday there were 4 other players at our table who I assume-- how do I put this---were professional life long welfare abusers. I picked up on this listening to them discuss the different merits of life in Chicago as compared to Minnesota. About half way through the games one of them ran out of cash so after digging through about 20 different State "free money cards" she goes over to the ATM and walla-a fresh 20 dollar bill spits out. I've never seen this particular card and didn't realize they could get cash along with free food, clothes, cell phones, housing, heat, medical.........................This same low life also created a scene later on because she insisted that she didn't get any change back from her 20 after she had bought another round of bingo cards. I let her go on for a few minutes until the manager and a coupe of other employees were gathered around and then I reminded her that she had put her change in her coat pocket. She gave me one of those "mind your own business looks" grabbed her coat and change and disappeared outside for a cigarette. [/QUOTE]
